LidoraJaka Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Today was a great morning, I found both of my old teen SL accounts, and they got ported over to real SL! I came back about a year ago and started playing again, but I had to make a new account..As soon as I logged in to my original account this morning, the wave of nostalgia was intense.. xP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they did. The teen grid got closed years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of, I mean. :-) I was waaaaaaay past teendom when I started here, so I can't identify directly with what it must be like to again have access to your old accounts from there. I've often thought, though, that nostalgia plays an important part in SL for anyone who's been here any length of time. I sometimes feel very nostalgic for my early days here. But SL changes so much, so quickly, that I can't even visit many of the places about which I feel nostalgic, because they no longer exist. Some of the people are still around, though. Sometimes -- it's rare but it happens -- I'll be busy in RL, with SL the furtherest thing from my mind, and I'll suddenly experience something that will forcibly remind me of somewhere, or something, or somebody, that I knew or experienced in SL. And that feeling is usually a sort of nostalgic one too. What's really weird is it will sometimes take me a half second or more to recognize that the thing being evoked wasn't "real," but virtual. A demonstration, I suppose. of the power of hyperreality, and its ability to fool us into confusing the one with the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbie Faulds Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 At least with those accounts you have a proper name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisonMcKenzie Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 And then did you immediately change your appearance to hide the shame of teen angst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
